Can we be friends? I could have made this exact post.

Nobody carries wallets anymore. I mean, they went out with powdered wigs! Yeah, see here's what you need. Just a couple of cards and your bankroll. See, keep the big bills on the outside.

I don't like having to pull out my wallet every time I have to pay for something. It takes too long to sift through it looking for the right bills, etc. Quicker to just pull cash out of a front pocket to pay. Plus, this way in the unlikely event that I ever get pickpocketed, they won't get any of my actual money.

What are you talking about?

Its pretty simple really, most people carry: 1)keys 2)smartphone 3)wallet.

Of those 3 I want them all in different pockets and I'd choose to sit on the wallet before the other 2.

Where is the confusion?

I've actually noticed lots of girls carry their phone in their back pocket. I guess I they take it out every time they sit down.

I have a small CC holder and use a rubber band to attach cash. A lot more comfortable and harder to pick-pocket.

i havent seen it mentioned yet but i go iphone front left, money clip front right, keys back right pocket while im walking. a lot of your sitting time is in the car, keys are not a factor. i dont have a lot of keys so if im sitting for just a minute i dont notice them. if im sitting for an extended period of time, usually a restaurant (when else are you just sitting down somewhere aside from restaurant or movie?) the keys go in the front pocket with the moneyclip and they fit fine. or i give them to my fiance and have her put them in her purse for optimum comfort.

I use one of these type of thin-wallets:

Smartphone in front left, wallet and keys in front right, receipts in back left, condoms in back right. I'm kind of OCD about all that. Always touching all four pockets as I'm walking out the door to make sure things are in the right place.

I used to keep it in the back pocket. Then when my wallet fell from my pocket, while sitting down, and I found it $100 lighter I switched. Also, there have been studies showing that keeping your wallet in your back pocket can cause spinal injuries.

after my 2nd pickpocket story I moved it to the front - which I still do 90 percent of the time (and am doing this second) though in a hurry and alone I may hit the back pocket

Switching from a back pocket wallet to a front pocket Money Clamp was one of the best decisions I ever made. So much more comfortable and I don't ever worry about pickpockets in crowded places.

My biggest problem, which won't be solved by a back wallet anyway, is I carry two phones: a personal Android phone and a work Blackberry. I have to go keys + clamp in front left and both phones in the right (keys & clamp will scratch my phones, but they do fine together). Every time a phone rings, I feel like I'm on Price is Right playing Three Strikes, hoping I don't pull the red X.

Wallet goes in front pocket, I don't necessarily care which, phone goes in the other. Keys in either. I keep only my needed keys and my car starter on the chain and keep the wallet to necessities.

I don't put anything in my back pockets. Probably has to do with having back pockets with a button a lot and my desire to not have to sit on anything.

EDIT: Plus I always heard front pockets were safer

phone and keys in the right. can have the remote dangle. usually i take either my phone or keys out when i sit down. keys at home. phone when im out so i can stare at it if something gets awkward.

Personally, front pocket ainec.

As to the part I bolded from your quote dlk9, what about certain types of slacks and khakis that have buttons with the vertical button hole in the back pockets? Sure you can leave the button unbuttoned, but isn't the button there for harder access by pickpockets? So, if one were OCD enough like I am, they would then have to unbutton said button on back pocket every time they needed to get their wallet out and then button it back up after putting wallet back in said back pocket.
